We are talking about the power of storytelling to share perspectives and to resonate with us. Stories linger. Stories impact. Stories are memorable and easy to share. A well crafted story teaches so much—- content, life lessons, interpersonal skills, shared cultures, and so much more!
I’m struck by the major reduction in storytelling in some areas (fables in early childhood) and yet the rise in others (business, leadership).
All this reminds me, I have an amazing third grade student I’m working with who loves to read with expression! We’ve talked about starting a podcast experience for a group of upper elementary kids in central Anne Arundel County! We are actively preparing this and are recruiting for 12-18 students! This experience will support:
- reading comprehension
- reading fluency
- grammar (punctuation, speaker cues)
- listening and speaking skills
- perspectives
- character development
- podcasting
- sound effects, stage design, and costumes
We are exploring a live performance and a real, multi-episode podcast!!
Let us know if you are interested in learning more or joining us!
